Dear Sir or Madam:

I am using Outlook Express 5 on Windows 9x Operating System. I would like to copy/move my email in the directory that I define in Outlook Express 5 "Mail" to my floppy/cd that I would like to use on my computer at home, becauseyou do know that I use Outlook Express at my office to retreive all my mail. How could I do to copy/move all my mails in the Mail folder or one mail message to the floppy/cd? Thank you very much for your answers.

Sincerely yours,

Chan Choth

An easy way to move mail or an entire mailbox is to use Outlook's Import/Export wizard. You should be able to do this from the file pullown menu. Choose to make a .pst file (this is a compressed archive of whatever mail you're selecting). Export the box from the computer that has what you want, and then import it to the computer you want it on. It may not be easy for just a few messages, but it works great for adding contacts, archived mail, etc...

Hope this helps,

Thank you so much for your answer. But I do not find any .pst file in my machine. And I cannot Import/Export. Thank you. I do hope that next time I will see your answer, and I will rate you as acceptable.
